Dissolution of District 3         
Reviewed  plans for dissolution, scholarship, disposition of website, mailing lists and bank account. Discussed keeping a bank account, and all attending were in agreement that this is needed in order to apply for grants. It will cost about  $1500 to have a lawyer assist in with documents of incorporation and to obtain the TIN. Attempts to update website this month not successful, as the website changed their software and Mary was not able to edit pages.

FNA is dissolving all local district organizations, and we are to become part of the North Central Florida Region. Read all about it in the current issue of  The Florida Nurse. Per our bylaws, we must officially meet to discuss our future, the future of the cash we have acquired, our scholarships, etc. Carol, Ali and I propose that we form a local 'chapter' or "special interest group".  We may need a lawyer. We may have to form our own 501(c)6. Attendance is very much appreciated for this.
